In "Girl Meets World," Cory has followed in the footsteps of his mentor Mr. Feeny, to become a schoolteacher. Riley, meanwhile, has her own Shawn Hunter -- best friend Maya Fox (Sabrina Carpenter).

As to the real Shawn Hunter making an appearance on the spinoff, Rider Strong has "no official involvement" yet but is open to the idea. "There might be a chance to see some of the BMW cast in a guest spot," he wrote on his website, "and I think it would be nice to find out where our characters have been all these years."

Production for "Girl Meets World" begins later this month for consideration on Disney Channel's 2013-14 schedule.
